ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

The California coast in La Jolla. Jagged rock cliffs meet a turbulent ocean. Palm trees and houses adorn the coast further south.

Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

Yeah @marenmorris.bsky.social gets it

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The president and all his rancid enablers really demand the creation of a new word that means “shocked but not shocked, but still shocked, but also totally NOT shocked, yet somehow still shocked, also always appalled, forever and eternally appalled by the endless abhorrence, and now I scream.”

READ THAT 2nd PARAGRAPH AGAIN.

….and AGAIN

Me, too.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Just thinking about some of the national security implications of the U.S. government undermining confidence in vaccines and public health.

An illegal biological lab was just busted in Vegas. The owner is being investigated having samples of stuff like HIV, tuberculosis, and Ebola in another…

Bernie Sanders' amendment would rescind $75 billion in additional funds for ICE and reallocate them to Medicaid, which could prevent 700,000 people from losing their health care after Republicans’ unprecedented cuts. bit.ly/3LSueGm

Our Democracy, our freedoms, our rights to vote, indeed our way of life is under attack.

We must continue to fight as dirty as they are fighting, we need to expose the Rot. We must not allow an inch and we must not get overwhelmed.

RISE AMERICA AND KEEP IT LOUD

Billie Eilish: "No one is illegal on stolen land"

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully:

The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

Thousands of union members staged a nonviolent march today. iCE gassed the crowd of nurses and teaches. The neighborhood is in a cloud. Flash bangs are being fired.

EMPATHY is OXYGEN for a DEMOCRACY to survive

“Minnesota's nickname is the North Star State due to its motto "L'Etoile du Nord," which was adopted in 1861.

Minnesota is the North Star State. ✨

Consider this fact whenever you're feeling despair at what's happening in our country right now. Follow our North Star.”
